No day out in Diamond Harbour is complete without a visit to historic Stoddart Cottage, and now there is the added attraction of seeing local art and craft. The Stoddart Cottage Gallery is open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holiday from 10am to 4pm. View details of the current exhibition on our blog.

Diamond Harbour is a small settlement on Banks Peninsula, New Zealand on the south side of Lyttelton Harbour.
The greater Diamond Harbour area also includes the nearby settlements of Church Bay, Charteris Bay and Purau. A ferry connects Diamond Harbour to Lyttelton from where buses depart to downtown Christchurch.
The name Diamond Harbour reputedly comes from the resemblance of sunlight on the water to the shining of diamonds.
